Glad you got the bugger!! I hear ya on the worthless terriers!!! Although our first two took out some nasty big ole rats! The Nude did kill a mole this summer. So, I guess not totally worthless. Poppet killed a field mouse out on a walk this summer too. Beep, though, totally worthless... looks at them and just stares, waiting for them to run!
In Connecticut we get mice and Dinah has recently caught some moles in the boiler/laundry room. Last fall when it turned cold we could hear them running in the walls. We caught quite a few. I like the idea of setting the trap on a newspaper.
the newspaper makes it so easy! Although the one that was dead and not in the trap actually came to rest off the newspaper. That's where latex gloves come in handy!
I respect any dog that kills a mole. Around here, the dog has to be very patient to catch a mole. they will never catch one by digging for it. they have to wait until it pops its head up, and then be damned quick!
Mice are the WORST. We had about 10 traps set this spring, because they are too damned smart. Hence Monkey coming into our life... I am surprised the kids aren't getting the job done :)

I do have to admit, Forrest has killed a good number of rats (and squirrels) in the back yard. He is somewhat a good terrier.
